No buying unnecessary toiletries in March - Challenge

Adela31

I used the percy and reed shampoo, conditioner and mask, the mask was the one that smelt the strongest (it was Evilsquid who pointed out how high parfum cme up the list of ingredients!)

Hair still bouncy and glossy, scalp still complaining that I was evil to it! it was a good experiment however, the doctor thought my itchy head was stress, and I am now kinda sure its harsh shampoo.

Thanks for this I'll avoid this now, my scalp hates highly fragranced things so this will be another GA at least I didn't go out and buy this get Glamour on subscription.

Estee Lauder BB Cream
I have applied this, this morning. Initial impressions are:
Colour was a good match, can't tell that you have anything on a very natural look, but it hasn't given as much coverage as I would have liked
Doesn't seem to have caused any reaction as yet, doesn't have a strong fragrance so should be ok.
Love that its spf 35
Will see what my skin is like when i remove it,and will try again next week. Its already a million times better than the Garnier one was for me.

Morning lovely ladies! Just dropping in to join everyone on the naughty step to declare my INs from the LG tsv...

INS
Laura Geller:
BnB SPF15 Fair
Baked marble eyeshadow moonstone/blue heaven
Spackle 59ml
Waterproof eye spackle fair/light

No blush as have done a swapsie for that.

Also maddiemay you asked me to report on the Emma Hardie moringa balm - I used it last night and was really impressed - my skin did feel really clean (I thought that this might just have been an overstatement on the Q, but actually it did feel really refreshed). Don't want to get a reputation as a 'naughty enabler' but noticed that the Q have got an intro set on special:
http://www.qvcuk.com/ukqic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.item.226221.cm_scid.cswb/walk.html.|ukhtml|Cor_uk_MyAcct,html
(same set is currently £32 on Feelunique so it is a good price), especially if you buy thorough Quidco . HTH.

In
Neals Yard Remedies Rehydrating Rose Daily Moisture 45ml with Marie Claire magazine. Cream RRP £12, but got it for £3.70 with mag. I love bargains

Dermalogica Extreme C - it's supposed to help in reducing freckles and sun damage. It's more of a preventative measure for me, though I do have a few freckles (I really don't like) on my face so if it helps in making them less obvious, that's a bonus.

i think I'm just going to use it on the ends of my hair and not let it anywhere near my scalp. I'm sure thats the highest or one of the highest up I've ever seem parfum listed. it must be there for a reason though, they wouldn't just bung in loads of it if it wasn't to mask something. it must have smelt really really bad without perfume in it!

try one of the ones without SLS/SLES in them and using natural fragrances and see how your scalp goes. theres loads of ranges now that don't have it in.

Just set a side some items for my sister so will record them as outs now

Percy and reed hair mask 200ml
Dr Nick Lowe oil control day cream 20ml

But these outs may lead to ins as I think she has a few items for me as well

I love the Emma Hardie balm; which i tried when i bought this kit. It smelt fab an was really relaxing massaging in into my face. It removed my make up really well and left my skin soft and not at all dry (i have mega dry skin).
I used it a couple of times as a masque or moisturiser and it was ok but at the price didn't feel as nice as a moisturising masque.

The scrubby seeds are nice although you get far far too many for the amout of balm.

I didn't think much of the moisturiser or eye cream tho.

oooh and the microfibre/muslin cloth is really nice

Saying all that - i now use Boots Botanics Cleanising Balm.
It doesn't feel quite as luxurios to use (and the cloth it comes with is pants) but the result is pretty much the same on my skin. It removes all make up (inc eye make up) and leaves my skin soft and clean an not at all dry.
It shows out of stock online atm but i normally always manage to get it instore. If i wait until its on 3-4-2 which is often it works out at less than a fiver for a pot which is a damn sight cheaper than EH.
Also for some reason online it says its a 15g pot - it isn't its 70g
